And a fond farewell to you, too, Kevin. After a big 3 days here, you're the guy I'd go to if I wanted to find out what the "consensus of this thread" is.
All I can do is go back to your original message, 19337, where you politely introduce yourself with:
Can any of the ranting jackals out here explain HOW navigator was actual competition to Windows?
To which I randomly replied with a quote from the chairman:
"A new competitor 'born' on the Internet is Netscape," Gates said in a 1995 memo to Microsoft executives, according to the Justice Department. "Their browser is dominant, with a 70 percent usage share, allowing them to determine which network extensions will catch on. They also are pursuing a multiplatform strategy where they move the key API [applications programming interface] into the client to commoditize the underlying operating system."
You've obviously wasted your time arguing with the small minds around here, you'll have to take up your argument with Bill, maybe he can explain it. It's probably beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, though. Or you can just stick with the "Who is John Galt" crowd over on How High. I've been telling people the answer to that question for months, but I doubt it will hold up in court. I'll take your word about the consensus of that thread, though.
See ya, Dan. |
